I have a theory that, while the battles the British fight may differ in the widest possible way, they have invariably two common characteristics - they are fought uphill and always at the junction of two or more map sheets.

If the original Gales brewery HSB (continued to be brewed by Fullers when the Fullers took over), then them Japs are gonna get crazier!
HBS always got me trollied after a few. It's like Stella of the real ale world. Just add string vest.

Always treat your kite like you treat your woman.
I say sir, do you mean take her home at the weekend to meet your mother?
No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back. Woof!

The art of bonsai is a case in point. Starting a project which will be around long after you've turned to dust. Every empire eventually fails. The circle of life and death, depending on which side of being the ruled or ruler you're on.

which is quite Ironic that a Drink (Lager) that the Germans were specifically excluded from when it was discovered and was in fact Brewed to extend shelf life by The Germans for storage has such a rep. Even more Ironic that I can't stand lager, or that My Uncle was a "Drayman" at Spaten in Hamburg and my preffered tipple is an Alt ( Old) By either Rhenania or Spaten itself.

Donki gets worse,
It's actually a popular abbreviation for Don Quijote, the name of the stores, - well, maybe the founder was a fan.
They're interesting for me as they have a great variety of discount goods but not the place to be if you are claustrophobic because they make the most of their selling space- I'm not, but 15 mins is about my max in one.

In the good old days (up to end of the 80s), the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment used to ride back to Knightsbridge from Pirbright at the end of Summer Camp. 250 horse in marching order, the whole regiment in No 2 dress mounted. We´d start around 07.00 coming into London on the A30. We´d stop at Fullers brewery for lunch. All cars and trucks vacated the premises to make room for the horses which were tied up while basically we went on the piss for two hours. The last hour and a half to Knightsbridge were interesting with those who couldn´t hold it, lagging themselves in the saddle.
